Danville, VA - Earlier on Friday, ABC 13 News reported local charity group God's Pit Crew had a donation deal terminated with the Wytheville PepsiCo Distribution Center. We were told the reason is because the charity uses the word “God” in its name. Less than an hour after our story aired, we’re told the deal is back on. 

A Senior Gatorade official from their corporate headquarters phoned to update us on the situation. Gatorade corporate spokeswoman Jennifer Schmidt tells us religion played no factor in the decision to terminate the deal. She would not elaborate on any other reasons for the termination, but stressed those donations are going to resume.
